Technical Abstract

The disclosure provides an augmented reality system (200) including an input unit (204), a text recognition unit (206), a natural language processing unit (208), a positioning unit (210), and an output unit (212). The input unit (204) captures an image. The text recognition unit (206) identifies an information on a surface depicted in the image and generates an input data based on the information. The natural language processing unit (208) determines a context of the input data and generates at least one assistive information based on the context. The positioning unit (210) determines one or more spatial attributes based on the image and generates a positioning information based on the spatial attributes. The output unit (212) displays the assistive information based on the positioning information.
